Getting Started
In a previous article, we look at fundamental stock indicators and use them to select stocks. One of the indicators we use is the dividend yield. High-yield dividend stocks are worth investing in, and we will analyze these stocks in this article.
Fundamental Indicators
Yahoo Stock Screener is extremely useful to screen stocks based on the criteria that we can configure.
There is a curated list of high-yield dividend stocks created by Yahoo Finance. We will use this list for our analysis.
Using the Python yfinance library, we can gather the data we need for analysis.
Using this data class, we can get all the fundamental data for a particular stock.
The data class inherits the TypeConverter class that provides a function to_df to convert the class to a Pandas data frame.
